153: Chapter 153 The Dark Abyss's Extremely Heavy Magnetic Field!

Outside the Ten Thousand Realms Auction House on Black Market Star in the Black Desolation Star Domain.

The moment Lin Que pushed open the heavy dark matter gate and stepped out of the auction house.

The once incredibly noisy and bustling main street, filled with various interstellar shuttles, was now so deathly silent that not even a whisper of wind could be heard.

Holographic neon lights flickered with a cold glow in the night sky.

The ten-mile-long metal street was completely empty.

All the shops were tightly shut, and even the Star Sea scavengers who made a living on the streets had fled completely.

At both ends of the street, and atop the towering metal skyscrapers on either side.

Cultivators wearing black heavy mining mecha stood in dense ranks!

There were as many as ten thousand of them!

Each mecha held a high-frequency spiritual energy cutting gun emitting a faint blue light of destruction.

"Master, the entire street has been cleared. The surrounding space is completely sealed by a special heavy metal magnetic field."

Su Qingyu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the long sword in her hand let out a crisp ring.

The Chen Family Old Ancestor and the Ancient Demon Emperor Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing tacitly formed a triangular Formation, protecting Lin Que in the center.

"Cleared? This display is quite the spectacle."

Lin Que shoved his hands into the pockets of his black robe and let out a lazy yawn.

His heterochromatic eyes quietly watched a giant luxury shuttle slowly descending at the far end of the street.

The shuttle's hatch opened.

A young man wearing a flamboyant Star Sea beast-skin coat with a fleshy Face walked down arrogantly, surrounded by a group of experts. It was none other than the Young Lord of the Black Abyss Mining Alliance who had maliciously outbid him in Heaven-tier Box No. 3 earlier—Kuang Lie!

Standing to the left and right of Kuang Lie were two old men wrapped in gray robes, their auras unfathomable.

Within their bodies, it was as if two active volcanoes were ready to erupt at any moment. The pressure they inadvertently emitted actually caused the surrounding metal ground to warp slightly.

Two Mid-stage Void Returning Star Domain Realm experts!

"Hahahaha! Kid, didn't expect this, did you? On this Black Market Star, no one dares to disrespect the Face of my Black Abyss Alliance!"

Kuang Lie swaggered to a stop a hundred feet away from Lin Que, his eyes greedily staring at the storage ring on Lin Que's finger.

"In the auction house, you were a Heaven-tier No. 1 Black Gold VIP, so I couldn't touch you. But since you've stepped out of that door, on this street, whatever I, Kuang Lie, say is the rule!"

Kuang Lie spat arrogantly:

"Hand over the ten billion plus star sea coins on you, as well as that withered stone. I'm in a good mood today, so I might consider only crippling your cultivation and leaving you alive to mine for the rest of your life on a mining star!"

Facing such a terrifying lineup that would be enough to scare an ordinary Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator to death.

Lin Que stood where he was, not even bothering to smooth the wrinkles on his big red cloak. He looked at Kuang Lie and sighed helplessly.

"I originally just wanted to go for a quiet stroll and buy some local specialties."

"Why do you villains always love to line up to give me money?"

"Courting death! Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Elders, cripple him! Leave him alive for soul searching!!"

Kuang Lie was furious upon hearing this. He took a sharp step back and swung his hand down ruthlessly.

"Boom—!!!"

There was no need for the two Void Returning Elders to act.

Kuang Lie directly activated a high-dimensional Formation that had been buried under this street long ago!

"High-dimensional Formation—[Black Abyss Extreme Gravity Magnetic Field Formation]! Activate!!"

In an instant!

The metal ground of the entire ten-mile-long street suddenly erupted with a blinding gray light!

A terrifying gravity ten million times stronger than normal, mixed with a high-dimensional magnetic field capable of freezing true essence, pressed down brutally on the heads of Lin Que and the other three like an invisible ancient divine mountain!

"Thud! Thud!"

Even though the Chen Family Old Ancestor and Su Qingyu had already achieved a Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, under this super-heavy magnetic field exclusive to Star Sea mining, their knees still buckled, and they nearly knelt on the ground. The circulation of true essence within their bodies became sluggish.

"Hahaha! This is the extreme gravity magnetic field our Black Abyss Alliance uses to mine high-dimensional stellar ore veins! In this magnetic field, no matter how strong your Physical Body is, you'll be pressed down until you can't even move a finger!"

Kuang Lie burst into a fit of smug, wild laughter.

However.

Amidst Kuang Lie's gradually stiffening smile.

Lin Que, who was at the very center of the magnetic field, not only wasn't pressed down.

Instead, he... stretched out in an exaggerated, comfortable yawn.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

As Lin Que stretched, his thirty-eight-million-pound dark gold extreme realm skeleton emitted a series of crisp popping sounds, like beans roasting!

"System, these electromagnetic lines are pulled quite nicely."

Lin Que closed his eyes comfortably in his mind.

"[Warning! High-dimensional gravity magnetic field (Black Abyss Extreme Gravity Mining Formation) detected!]"

"[Analysis: The enemy is attempting to use stellar-level magnetic force to physically suppress the host and seal their Meridians.]"

"[Logic restructuring initiated—'Panoramic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Supreme Bone-Setting Physiotherapy Device' mode!]"

"[Operation 1: Forcibly change magnetic field frequency! Tamper 'lethal heavy pressure' into 'highly penetrating high-frequency muscle relaxation waves'!]"

"[Operation 2: Conceptual baptism! In coordination with the host's Physical Body that has just surged to thirty-eight million pounds, the magnetic field is determined as 'non-destructive stretching recovery therapy after high-intensity body tempering'!]"

"[Operation 3: Environmental shielding activated! The host and allies will be immune to all negative heavy pressure and can enjoy the massage to their heart's content!]"

"Ding! Your private bone-setting technician is online! The pressure is just right. Please stretch your muscles and bones as much as you like, Host!"

"Hum————!!!"

Under the coverage of the System's rogue logic.

The ten-million-fold gravity that was originally supposed to crush Lin Que into meat paste weirdly transformed into wisps of warm magnetic therapy waves the moment it hit him, perfectly penetrating into his muscles that had just been baptized by the Universe Seed.

Even Su Qingyu and the others nearby felt their bodies lighten, and the pressure vanished completely!

"Phew... comfortable."

Lin Que exhaled a breath of turbid air with satisfaction and cracked his neck.

"Impossible!!! How can you possibly stand so straight in the Black Abyss magnetic field?!"

Kuang Lie's eyes nearly popped out. This Formation was something even his father had praised!

"Young Lord, be careful! This boy is extremely strange!!"

The two Mid-stage Void Returning Realm Elders standing beside Kuang Lie finally noticed something was wrong.

Although there were no fluctuations of magical power within the white-robed youth, standing there, it was as if even the surrounding light was being sucked in by his terrifying physical mass!

"Attack together! Slay this scoundrel!!"

The two Elders did not hesitate for a second, directly erupting with their terrifying Mid-stage Void Returning cultivation!

The Elder on the left held a [Falling Star Giant Hammer] made entirely of starry sky profound iron and weighing a million pounds; the Elder on the right summoned a [Black Abyss Void-Rending Whip] entwined with high-dimensional lightning!

One on the left and one on the right, they ruthlessly tore through the Void Realm, carrying terrifying power enough to smash an asteroid, and slammed down fiercely toward Lin Que's head!

"Master, watch out!"

Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing cried out in alarm.

Facing the full-force pincer attack of two Mid-stage Void Returning experts.

Lin Que stood his ground, his big red cloak flapping loudly in the fierce wind.

In his heterochromatic eyes, there was no panic, only the extreme indifference of a superior looking down at ants.

"For me... this isn't even worth a scratch."

Lin Que didn't even bother to draw the true Immortal Artifact long sword from his back.

He directly raised his arms, which gleamed with a dark gold luster.

His left hand casually propped upward; his right hand crudely grabbed outward!

"Clang————!!!!!"

"Crack————!!!!!"

Two terrifying booms, loud enough to shatter the eardrums of an ordinary Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator, exploded on the long street!

A shocking, illogical scene appeared!

The [Falling Star Giant Hammer], weighing a million pounds and carrying the supreme magical power of a Mid-stage Void Returning expert, was held firmly in mid-air by Lin Que's left hand!

The [Black Abyss Void-Rending Whip], entwined with high-dimensional lightning and capable of tearing through the Void Realm, was accurately snatched into Lin Que's palm by his right hand!

He didn't retreat a single step!

Not even a single crack appeared on the metal ground beneath Lin Que's feet!

Because all the destructive impact force, the moment it touched Lin Que's Nirvana Hegemon Body, was like mud entering the sea, dominantly and completely absorbed!

"What?!! Catching Dao Artifacts with bare hands?!!"

The two Elders' eyes nearly flew out. They felt as if their full-force strike, which they took pride in, had slammed into an unshakeable ancient divine mountain!

"Your weapons are too light."

Lin Que looked up and gave the two horrified Elders a cruel, savage grin.

Next second!

"Blood Scripture—Extreme Realm Counter-Shock!!"

The purple-gold vitality within Lin Que's body exploded! The terrifying giant force of thirty-eight million pounds, combined with the absolute damage reflection of the Nirvana Hegemon Body!

"Crack! Crack!!!"

Under the desperate gazes of the two Elders, the high-grade Star Sea Magic Treasures in their hands actually began to shatter inch by inch, starting from the point of contact with Lin Que's palms!

That extremely violent counter-shock force followed the shattered Magic Treasures and, like a magnitude twelve tsunami, brutally surged into their arms!

"Ahhhhh——!!!"

The two Mid-stage Void Returning Elders let out shrill screams as their arms instantly exploded into a mist of blood!

They were sent flying like kites with broken strings, blasted back over a thousand feet, crashing heavily through over a dozen metal skyscrapers, their lives or deaths unknown!

One move!

Without even actively attacking, just through counter-shock, he had instantly crippled two Mid-stage Void Returning Star Domain Realm experts!

"Gulp..."

Hiding in the back, Kuang Lie watched the cleared path ahead. His teeth began to chatter wildly, and his legs turned as soft as noodles, causing him to collapse to his knees with a "thud."

The ten thousand or so mecha guards holding guns didn't even have the courage to pull their triggers, looking as if they had been frozen into statues.

"Monster... You're definitely a Star Sea colossus in human form..."

Kuang Lie was so scared that tears and snot flowed freely, and he desperately kowtowed on the ground:

"Don't kill me!! Don't kill me!! My father is the Alliance Leader of the Black Abyss Mining Alliance! He is a Late Stage Void Returning Star Domain Realm powerhouse!! If you kill me, there will be no place for you in the entire Black Desolation Star Domain!!"

"Pitting your father against me again?"

Lin Que walked up to Kuang Lie, looking down with disgust at the Young Lord who had been so overbearing just moments ago.

What he hated most was this cliché drama of the old one coming after the young one is beaten.

"Don't worry."

Lin Que slowly raised his right foot, aiming it at Kuang Lie's head.

"Since you're so reluctant to leave your father, when I have some free time, I'll send him down to join you."

"Squelch—!"

Without any hesitation.

Lin Que stepped down, as if crushing a rotten watermelon.

The Young Lord of the Black Abyss Mining Alliance had his Divine Soul extinguished on the spot.

Silence fell over the surroundings.

After witnessing the tragic death of their Young Lord, the ten thousand mecha guards let out terrified screams, threw away their weapons, and fled madly.

Lin Que didn't bother chasing those small fry.

He practicedly bent over and plucked the storage ring emitting a dark gold light from Kuang Lie's hand.

His Divine Sense forcibly erased the mark and delved inside.

Lin Que's eyes lit up slightly.

Besides mountains of high-dimensional spirit crystals and star sea coins, this storage ring actually contained a complete [Black Desolation Star Domain Top-Grade Ore Vein Distribution Map], as well as the defensive Formation diagrams for the Black Abyss Alliance headquarters!

"Master, we've killed the Young Lord of the Black Abyss Alliance. This grudge is now a blood feud."

The Chen Family Old Ancestor stepped forward. Although he wasn't afraid, he knew the severity of the situation.

"Grudge? No."

Lin Que threw the storage ring into his inner heaven and earth, his gaze piercing through the sky of Black Market Star, looking toward the massive Alliance headquarters marked on the star map.

A corner of his mouth curled into an excited, predatory, and crazed smile:

"This is called locking in a new supply channel."

"Don't our ten thousand Dragon Cavalry star destroyers happen to still need a lot of Advanced armor Materials?"

Lin Que flicked his big red cloak and turned to walk toward the port:

"Brothers, back to the ship!"

"Since the Black Abyss Alliance is in the mining business, then we'll go to their headquarters..."

"And dig to our heart's content!!!"
